I pray for everyone who is suffering with AIDS as we enter World AIDS Day on December 1, 2007. Let 2008 be a healing year for everyone who is suffering with this disease.For the past ten years, I have been fighting the AIDS disease in my body. For the past seven years I have been completely abstinent, the result of my commitment to Jesus Christ and following Him with my entire heart, mind and soul. I simply do not have any of the carnal and sinful desires that used to control my life. Jesus Christ has indeed set me free!One of the great weapons I have at my disposal for fighting AIDS is following Christ, and I also apply the healing teachings of the Bible.Psalm 103 says:Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.If you are infected with AIDS, and are not married, please do not sleep around, do not have sex. I have abstained for seven years and you can too! Let this be our healing message during this World AIDS Day!Your friend in the battle,James Hartline

International and national news services are now reporting on James Hartline's latest victory!

The leading pro-life news service Lifesite has featured James Hartline's boycott victory over Ecke Ranch.

Pro-Lifer Claims Boycott Success Over Abortion Supporting Poinsettia BusinessSays boycott must continue while flowers still being sold under original name.By Meg Jalsevac

November 20, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two years ago, San Diego based pro-life activist James Hartline used his on-line report to organize and promote a national boycott of Paul Ecke Ranch Christmas poinsettias due to the Ecke family's extensive history of financial support for abortion-giant Planned Parenthood (PP). Hartline is now claiming a major boycott victory. Recent local reports indicate that, since the 1920's, this will be the first year the principal poinsettia producer in the nation, Ecke Ranch, will not produce and sell their typically large crop of the festive Christmas plant.

The Ecke family's financial and ideological support of PP is well-documented and extends back through the years. Multiple members of the Ecke family are listed on the Planned Parenthood of San Diego's 2006 annual report within the 'Margaret Sanger Donor Circle'. Mrs. Elisabeth Ecke, referred to as "a longtime champion of Planned Parenthood and the reproductive services it provides", is listed as also having bequeathed funds to PP upon her death. In 2005, several members of the Ecke family contributed $250,000 to fund the renovation of the local PP clinic which was in turn named in honor of the family matriarch, Elisabeth Ecke.

According to an article in the San Diego Tribune Review, the Ecke Ranch has decided to license Armstrong Garden Centers to both grow and sell poinsettias under the Paul Ecke Ranch name. According to ranch officials, the change is not expected to cause any great diminution to the ranch's overall income since they assert that selling the full-grown plants does not constitute the bulk of their business. However, according to the Tribune Review, the ranch typically grows and sells anywhere between 300,000 to 400,000 full-grown poinsettias each Christmas season. This year, they will produce only 6,000 to be used for promotional purposes.

While the Tribune Review article makes no mention of the pro-life boycott, Hartline is convinced that it has affected the Ecke business. "It is clear that our boycott will continue to hurt the Ecke name and their poinsettia sales. I fully believe that the Eckes know that their name is bad news among pro-lifers. I believe their decision to license out their name is, in part, due to our ongoing boycott."

Hartline encouraged pro-lifers to continue the boycott of the Ecke poinsettias saying, "We must understand that the Eckes will continue to profit off of the poinsettias being produced by Armstrong Gardens, because the Ecke name will still be used." "I am convinced that our boycott has created major problems for Ecke Ranch. Without churchgoers purchasing their poinsettias, the Eckes will have a real hard time getting that extra cash they need to fund Planned Parenthood. Babies are more important than giving the Eckes blood money for their poinsettias!"

San Diego Pro-Life Activist Scores Major Win AgainstWealthy Pro-Abortion Family:California-Based Ecke Ranch Will Greatly Reduce Local Production Of Poinsettias, Two Years After James Hartline BeganPoinsettias Boycott Due To Eckes' Planned Parenthood Funding

This week, the San Diego Union Tribune reported that for the first time since the 1920's Ecke Ranch will not be directly producing a major crop of poinsettias at its Encinitas greenhouses during the Christmas season. According to the Union Tribune, Ecke Ranch, which is credited with popularizing the poinsettia as a Christmas flower, has licensed its name to Glendora-based Armstrong Garden Centers, which has growing facilities in Fallbrook and Orange County. Armstrong is producing the plants and will sell them under the Paul Ecke Ranch brand name.

The Union Tribune also reported that Paul Ecke III had a hard time with the diminished production of poinsettias at his facilities: “It was a tough decision,” said Paul Ecke III, the third generation of Eckes to head the ranch. “It was a little emotional. We're farmers. Seeing empty greenhouses doesn't seem natural.”

While Ecke is apparently troubled by the change in his flower business, he continues to aggressively support the abortion provider Planned Parenthood. Along with Ecke matriarch Jinx Ecke, Paul Ecke III has given enormous sums of money to Planned Parenthood. According to the 2006 San Diego/Riverside Counties Planned Parenthood Annual Report, the Eckes were listed as Margaret Sanger Circle Donors to the organization. Margaret Sanger was the atheistic and racist founder of Planned Parenthood. At the same time that the Eckes continue to use their wealth to help exterminate pre-born infants, they are continuing to lure children into their flower empire. The Flower Fields Education Program in Carlsbad regularly attracts children from pre-school through 5th grade to the Ecke-based facility.

"I am convinced that our boycott has created major problems for Ecke Ranch," says Hartline. "Without churchgoers purchasing their poinsettias, the Eckes will have a real hard time getting that extra cash they need to fund Planned Parenthood. Babies are more important than giving the Eckes blood money for their poinsettias!" Hartline declares.

Hartline also states that a number of emails and telephone calls have continued to come into his office from pro-life groups asking for more information about the Eckes and their poinsettias. "It is clear that our boycott will continue to hurt the Ecke name and their poinsettia sales. I fully believe that the Eckes know that their name is bad news among pro-lifers. I believe their decision to license out their name is, in part, due to our ongoing boycott."

Hartline also believes that pro-lifers everywhere must continue to boycott Ecke products. "We must understand that the Eckes will continue to profit off of the poinsettias being produced by Armstrong Gardens, because the Ecke name will still be used."

Hartline also contends that his victory would not have been possible without the heroic efforts of other pro-life activsts in the San Diego area. "My role is to disseminate information about the horrific financing of Planned Parenthood by the Ecke Clan, and to motivate Christians to do something about that. The real heroes in the pro-life movement are people like Allyson Smith and Sue Lopez." Allyson Smith and Sue Lopez have been on the frontlines for years, protesting the murderous abortion mills of Planned Parenthood in San Diego County.

For Hartline, his war against the Ecke Family could end in one day if the Eckes would simply end their practice of funding Planned Parenthood. That doesn't seem likely, however. Family matriarch Jinx Ecke was once again listed on the 2007 San Diego County Planned Parenthood President's Council. The Council list was included on a flyer for Planned Parenthood's annual "education" fund luncheon benefit. "One day Mrs. Ecke will have to answer to God for all of the unborn babies that she helped to exterminate through abortion. I sure wouldn't want to be in her shoes when that judgment comes," warns Hartline.

James Hartline has proven that if pro-lifers will take their protests from the sidewalks to the corporate millionaires who are funding the abortion mills of Planned Parenthood, that a more comprehensive plan to defeat the abortion provider can be achieved. Hartline is an outspoken critic of abortion supporters who are elected to public office. He is currently running for a seat on the San Diego City Council to replace Democrat Toni Atkins. Atkins managed three abortion clinics prior to her election to the city council in 2000.

“In the last days I will restore their fortunes, both the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and I will restore your own fortunes in their midst."Ezekiel 16:53

Part 1 ~ It All Began With A Strange Dream ~

"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, andabundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." Ezekiel 16:49

It all began with a strange dream in 1999. The century was finally winding down and so were my thirty years of homosexuality. I had never asked to be ensnared in the homosexual life. Not many do. I had, however, asked God hundreds of times to help me get out. God did not disappoint me. His way of delivering me out of homosexuality came in a quiet, mysterious manner, rather than some spectaculor Hollywood marquee which shouted, "You're Free! You're Free!" When we are so desperately in need of a miracle, it is the tendency of the human condition to expect fireworks and symphonic displays of music when God responds to our pleas. During my many years of struggling with my sinful condition, I never even contemplated the idea that God would speak to me through a dream. Yet, that is exactly how He began the process of finally bringing me out of thirty years of suffering caused by the sin of homosexuality.

Now, there are some folks who have mocked me because I have claimed that God speaks to me through dreams. In fact, a few years ago, I had a man who is a ranking Republican official, and publicly professed Christian, who told me that if I wanted to succeed in the Republican Party I should keep quiet about my dreams. This reminds me of the Genesis account of the Hebrew boy Joseph. Joseph was the dreamer of dreams. Joseph was also greatly despised by his own family because he constantly reminded them that God spoke to him through dreams:

"And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeedhave dominion over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for hiswords." Genesis 37:8

In the end though, after being completely rejected by his family and sold into slavery, as well as being falsely imprisoned, God confirmed Joseph's visionary claims by raising him up to become the leader of the entire nation of Egypt.

The Bible tells us that dreams are the linguistic commerce of the spirit realm. Rather than questioning the credibility of one who hears from God through dreams, we are to understand that all Christians should be the regular recepients of God-sent dreams. Regarding the substantive role that dreams should play in the lives of all Christians, I have gained a better understanding of the spiritual reality of dreams and visions just as it is articulated in the Book of Acts:

‘“And in the last days it shall be,' God declares, 'that I will pour out my Spirit on allflesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.'" Acts 2:17

In that 1999 dream, the Lord revealed to me many significant spiritual insights which would lay the foundation for many of the cultural strategies that I would use in the ensuing years. The Lord indued me with a profound revelation of how I was to escape from the bondage of homosexuality. It was that revolutionary dream which triggered a series of events where I was led into the realized call of God for my life. It is amazing to me when I consider all of the information that God conveyed in that one dream. Incredibly, the Lord also conveyed to me a very specific and prophetic sign that I was to look for in future days. The Lord instructed me that this sign would show up at some point inside of San Diego's gay community as an indicator that the battle to liberate that community had turned in my favor.

Everything that God has shown me through my dreams -- the battles, the spiritual forces, governmental leaders, the deceivers -- all have manifested just as God had revealed them to me during my sleeping hours.

Part 2 ~ Spiritual Warfare In Sodom ~

One of the great battles that God has called me to in the last seven years was the war to shut down the gay sex club at 2200 University Ave. in the North Park area of San Diego's gay stronghold. The Lord revealed to me through a dream that the 2200 Club (formerly known as the Mustang Spa), was an altar to the devil. God explained to me in minute details how the Spirits of Ancient Sodom were being resurrected in San Diego through these gay sex clubs. In essence, these places are demonic altars which pay tribute to Satan. The Lord made it abundantly clear to me: "When that place falls, the battle to save the lives of the men who have been taken captive in this New Sodom will be turned in your favor."

The Lord also warned me that it would be a long and deadly battle between my stand for Christ and these wicked Spirits of New Sodom. Indeed, it was a long, arduous war. After long episodes of grieving prayer, fasting, and crying out in the public square, the 2200 Club was finally shut down. As the smoke cleared, it was evident that this satanic altar had been destroyed. So many men have died after being infected with the AIDS virus in hell holes like the 2200 Club. There really is no adequate way of describing the depressing loss of life that has occured as a result of the hundreds of homosexual bathhouses operating across America during the AIDS crisis. The Madmen of Sodom keep the doors of these death chambers constanly open.

When I began my campaign to shutter the doors of the 2200 Club (formerly known as the Mustang Spa), I just assumed that gay activists would be happy to have someone with the courage who was willing to stand up and fight to shut down the bathhouses. I was wrong. New Sodom's more vocal activists have responded with an irrational hate towards my efforts. The following video is just one such example of the total insanity that is germinating within the hearts and minds of New Sodom's architects: This unbelievable video is entitled James Hartline Closes The 2200 Club (by VioletNews).

This video was produced by one of the primary anti-christian defenders of the 2200 Club gay bathhouse. While he demands respect for the insane desires of those who have occupied the death chambers of places like the 2200 Club, he made this unbalanced statement about me during the filming of his video:

"....unfortunately his (Hartline's) several attempts at suicide were unsuccessful."

Part 3 ~ Citizenship In New Sodom ~

For a good portion of my early life I was a nobody, a pointless breath within a phantom existence. That gloomy belief about myself had even led me to the point of suicide many years ago. Farther down than my lowest point, is the dark mentality of the producer of the 2200 Club video who actually wanted my attempt at suicide to succeed. It is a sad, sad reality, but these are the kinds of devious thought processes which are running wildly rampant inside of the castles and black towers of New Sodom.

That is what makes my current journey through one of the dark centers of the universe all the more perplexing for the many who observe my citizenship in this resurrected Sodom. They claim that love for their community drives them to war against Christians. Yet, for many of them, they have really never known love, thus they have no point of reference to actually demonstrate love.

These are hard days for those in this invisible prison. I seem to be the only one bringing spiritual water to the prisoners of this Sodomic Archipelago known as Hillcrest, San Diego's gay community. Having spent so many of my younger years as a lost and needy beggar, I could have never envisioned myself one day being the conveyer of the eternal truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To preach the Gospel in word and deed is love. The Gospel will lead the fallen foe to heaven - it is their only hope. My enemies simply do not understand the great gift I am bringing to them. As I have said, they have really never known love, thus they cannot recognize my intentions for what they really are: love.

The hate towards Christianity has spread like a cancer across the morbid plains of New Sodom. And it is not limited to San Diego's gay community either. One website called Queerty recently published their list of the most despised Americans who oppose the homosexual movement. Among the Christians that the website attacked were myself, Alliance Defense Fund President Alan Sears, Bishop Wellington Boone, and Bishop Harry Jackson. In 2005, the Christian Post listed Bishop Jackson as one of the top 50 most influential Christians in America. Alan Sears and Bishop Boone have been used mightily all over the United States to advocate for the sanctity of marriage and the saving of religious liberties and unborn babies.

Despite giving my everything to the saving of the lives of men and women who are being spiritually neutered by the strong Spirits of New Sodom, no grace nor any good recognitions for my good works can be found on Queerty's website. Instead, the following vile dissertations attacking me are displayed:

After I was infected with AIDS in 1997, I eventually shifted from a life of self-endulgence to one of completely seeking the will of God for the remaining years I had left on this earth. In my many campaigns to shut down the businesses that are fostering the spread of the deadly HIV virus, I thought the gay community would surely appreciate the closing of the gay sex clubs. That was, perhaps, the most foolish conclusion I could have made. Contrary to the gay community's public claims, there is a vile support for these houses of death hidden within America's homosexual machine. Combining dogmatic anti-christian bigotry with a furious hunger for flesh, and one can see what is darkly blooming on the thorn bushes of New Sodom.

"I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: they commitadultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah." Jeremiah 23:14

Here is how one anti-christian website recently displayed their contempt for my Biblical stand on the issue of homosexuality:

While we have been sleeping, these rotten voices, and even more rotten minds, have wreaked havoc upon the children of America. In their diabolical opposition to my rescuing of our generation's children from their blackened chokeholds, the Scouts of New Sodom have resisted me everyday, in everyway. It is this generation's great tug-of-war--and who gets control of the children--is the prize.

On some cloudy days, the rebellious citizens of New Sodom are so fearless in their immorality that it leaves me breathless. I recently reported on Mick Rabin, an elementary school teacher who proudly indoctrinates extremely young third grade students into accepting homosexuality as a way of life. There is no acceptability when contemplating the degradation these little lambs are being put through by Rabin. He is a soul stealer who is taking the little boys and little girls under his care and sending them to their spiritual slaughter. I have only heard my lone voice crying out in this long night on behalf of Rabin's victims: "My God! My God! Where will justice come from for these children? Who will save them? Who will help me in my stand for the innocent and undefended?"

I think about the price that must be paid to undo the damage being done to the youth who are being taken captive by Sodom's immoral evangelists. The bells in hell are ringing non-stop as the children of Sodom are being ensnared by the fleshly desires of their adult captors. What will it take to defeat the spirits of seduction which have built up the sulphuric walls of New Sodom into the high-walled fortress that it has now become? Each time a lie has been told in New Sodom, another brick has been added to its walls. The walls are hopelessly high and the consciences of New Sodom's citizens are painfully seared.

"What will it take to set these captives free?" I have asked God, time after time after time. Each time, the answer is the same, the commandment of God just as sure: "If you love them, lay down your life for them."

Part 7 ~ The Devil's Grip ~

The task at hand is getting more severe. The devil's grip on the minds of Sodom is more tight, more vicious. Most have given up resistance. They are now enslaved in an unholy pit that few will ever be able to climb out of. For me, I know that I was the recepient of great, great mercy, to the point that I got free before the deception could wield its completed assignment. For these other sad souls, they are much like the Jews in 1937 Germany. The devil has them and they have very little time to get out before the end of this age closes its last chapter.

Already the terrors are gathering steam. There is no doubt that we have entered into the last vestiges of the age of grace. The clock reads two minutes until midnight. The spirit of hate is rampant inside of New Sodom. One needs to only look back on the black waters of the Third Reich to get a clear look at the Sodomic plot against the Christians in America. Christians who uphold the full truth of the Bible are hated with a bitter rage inside of New Sodom. This kind of rage did not result from any offense committed by Christians. This foul rage roars out of a demonic principality that has been given refuge inside of the hearts and minds of the welcoming rebels of New Sodom. For over seven years I have been the target of that rage. I have seen it up close. The hairs on my arms of faith have been singed by the fires of such rage.

I think part of their anger has come from the disappointed outcome of so many men who have grown older in their homosexuality and are no longer wanted by the young lions who prowl about Sodom's alleys and altars. There is bitter disappointment in New Sodom. Once the gay male has lost his youthful appearance, he is cast aside like trash by those who rate men like the butcher rates a cut of beef. Rejection is rampant in Sodom and the rejected are angry over it.

Then there are the teenagers who are being lured into New Sodom. Their parents cry and wail at Sodom's gates, "Give me back my boy! Give me back my girl!" They pound on the city's gates, crying out, weeping over their lost sons and their wayward daughters. Their captors howl and shriek with unrepentant laughter, "Never! they are now ours, they are now the Rainbow Children!" The young ones are now held in chains, chains that began with promises of money, sex and drugs. At the end of the party, when they thought they could just dance their way back to a more sedentary path, the children could not pull their limbs free from the cold steel chains of their bondage. Their dismayed eyes rolled up into their heads to search for a place to hide.... only to find a vision of a coffin lurking there with their names on it.

Many of the children wander aimlessly into Hillcrest, having runaway from abusive homes and into the waiting arms of older lesbians and hungry gay males. Some of the teenagers already have warn out carcasses, having sold their underage bodies for money, drugs and even food. The greater Sodomic area is home to over 100 registered pedophiles and other dangerous sex offenders. They easily mingle with Hillcrest's other residents. No one questions the presence of the predators because all who make gay pride their religion are welcomed with open arms. The predators know where the Hillcrest Youth Center is located at and believe me, they have marked off all paths leading to where the kids come and go. These shadow predators are lawless and they are reprobate.

Part 8 ~ The Judgements of Sodom ~

"All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way;And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6

It seems that the whole land has gone astray. There is never a day that goes by without me asking, "How have so many gone so far from God so quickly?" God has been vanquished from their reasoning. Indeed, they have become godless. I believe it is only out of necessity that they cover up their real state of mind and their true intentions. They are anti-christian to the maximum. In my old days of sexual immorality, there was always glimmers of hope that I would one day be delivered from homosexuality. I never went this far to the dark side.

When the angels of God came to tell Abraham that Sodom's end had come, that God was about to destroy it because the stench of its wickedness had risen to heaven, Abraham pleaded for more time, more grace for the Sodomites. Like old Abraham, I plead for more time. Yet, I know that no matter what I do, there is little time left. I know how difficult it was for me to get out of homosexuality. I had many years of Bible study to draw from that helped me to get out of the gay life. For most men and women who are still held captive, they have little, if any, Biblical knowledge. Thus, the task of bringing delilverance to them in such a short time will only occur by some extraordinary miracle, something not seen upon the earth before. The devil will not let Sodom's children go without a struggle to the death. Perhaps this war to free them will cost me my life. I won't hesitate for I have fully embraced the true meaning of life: For there is no greater love than this: a man who will lay down his life for his brothers and sisters. And my arms are willingly open wide for the children of Sodom to go free. And at the end of my journey on this earth, nothing else will really have any earthly value to me except this kind of liberating love.

Thought For The Day:"If you mess with our kids, than I'm going to mess with you!"James Hartline, Candidate - San Diego City Council, District 3Bible Passage Of The Day:"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." 3 John 1:2DID YOU KNOW? In my efforts to protect our community's women from being assaulted and raped, I have discovered that there is a violent sex offender who roams the streets of Hillcrest....living as a homeless person! That's right, a man who was convicted of drugging women and then raping them while they were unconscious, lives as a homeless person on the streets of Hillcrest. I have spent many hours going around the area that he hangs out and talking with the ladies and young girls to warn them about this rapist. Ladies...YOU NEED TO KNOW: many sex offenders live as homeless persons so that the police officers have a harder time tracking them down. Ladies and Moms, make sure that you check out the Megan's Law Website to see if you recognize a predator hanging around your home. The sad part is that a local female police sgt. would not even check out what this rapist was doing when I reported to her the activities of this guy. What if this guy decides to do drugs and attacks one of our community's women at night while they are walking or jogging? You can regularly see this rapist hanging out with the rest of the homeless drug addicts at the Jack In The Box restaurant on 7th & University Ave.If you are having troubles and need prayer, send your prayer requests in. We have an extensive prayer team network that takes seriously your need for healing, prosperity, family disputes, addictions, fear, depression....whatever. We consider it an honor to serve God and to bring your needs to our Father in heaven during our prayer times. We love you and really do want you to achieve God's destiny for your life while you are on this earth!

Well, I took time off from my campaign for the San Diego City Council to do what I love to do: serve God and minister to the kids in our city. I let the ladies of Mission Valley Christian Fellowship talk me into dressing up as a clown for our Hallelujah Hoedown. At the Hoedown, we ministered to thousands of kids and their families at Qualcomm Stadium. We love our kids! And our San Diego families certainly needed a good celebration to forget, for a moment, the hardship of the terrible fires in recent days. Mission Valley Christian Fellowship, my home church here in San Diego, donated the entire cost of the event, so everything was free for the thousands of families that came to spend an alternative to Halloween with us.
